The State of New Hampshire seems likely
to get a ten-hour bill with much less legis-
latiye trouble than our own State had last
winter. The Senate passed ten-hour bill
and sent 1t down to the House, where 1t
came up ON Wednesday. The House, after
making few amendments relating to fines,
passed it unanimously, and it will probably
become law without much ado. The main
provisions of the bill are similar to the pro-
visions of the Looney bill, which became
law last winter. mo minor" so reads the
New Hampshire bill, under eighteen years
of age. and no woman, shall be employed in
laboring in any manufacturing or mechani-
cal establishment in this State more than
ten hours in one day." The Maine law
says mo female minor under eighteen
years Of age, no male minor under sixteen
years Of age, and no woman shall be en-
ployed in laboring in. any manufacturing or
mechanical establishment in this State more
than ten hours in any one day." and has the
additional provision that any female of
eighteen years of age or over may lawfully
contract for labor for any number of hours
in excess of ten hours per day, not exceed
ing six hours in any one week or sixty hours
In any one year, receiving additional COM
pensation therefor. The Maine law pro-
vides that no child under twelve years of
age shall work at all in any manufacturing
or mechanical establishment. The New
Hampshire bill makes the age limit thirteen
years. The provisions in our law relating
to schooling are wanting in the New Hamp-
shire bill, and in several other respects the
latter is less wisely and carefully drawn,
especially in respect to penalties. A fight
over bill is often trying and tedious, but
it shows its weak points, and rarely results
in harm. If the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture should disagree more. over their labor
bill they might get better law.

Since the Boston d Maine got substantial

can't article from Concord paper warning

losing her position as a commercial center if
the Boston " Maine, which now virtually
controls the railroads of Maine, also succeeds
IN pocketlng the railroads of New Hamp-
shlre;; Portland now seems to have caught
tne alarm, as will be seen by what we pub
llsh elsewhere. The alarm has been sound
ed none to soon. If the local interests of
Doth Maine and New Hampshire are to be
sacrliced 10 satisfy this great octopod, then
the Maine and New Hampshire public whose
money was spent in building these roads and
who granted the franchise now so valuable,
ought to know the reason why. The perils
OF giving too much power to one little direc-
torate coterie, are grave. The struggle in
New Hampshire will be watched through
out Maine with deep interest.
